Were the courts right in throwing out the army representatives, youths & workers from parliament?

Background
The constitutional court on Monday threw out the representatives of the army, youths and workers in parliament saying they were in the house illegally.
  
The ruling was drafted by a Coram of five judges and read by justice Remmy Kasule on Tuesday and other justices on the panel were Augustine Nshimye, Ruby Opio, Richard Buteera, Fredrick Egonda-Ntende. The judges unanimously agreed that the MP’s continued stay in the August House was illegal.

The ruling followed a series of petitions filed in 2010 by a group of ‘concerned’ voters contesting the procedures that government uses in electing MP’s for the special interest groups. This has attracted a lot of mixed reactions and debate from the public.

The opposition Mp’s in parliament have also been complaining over the involvement of the army in the parliamentary affairs saying they have always taken sides with the ruling NRM, government and in a way also have influenced the legislative processes.

Question
Were the courts of law  justified in throwing out  representatives of the army, youths & workers as well as questioning the procedures of their election in to parliament?
A. Yes 
B. No
